A NEW POET,

Unkind fate has willed that Matt. w.
Anderson, the poet laureate of the Rocky
Mountains, shall cease to warble his
poetical warblings, at least for the time
being. But as modern writer has said,
How wisely are all things ordered, and
how promptly does the new star begin
to beam upon the decline of the old. A
dazzling literary star has arisen from
Willow creek and is about to shoot
across the starry vault OF poesy,-pro-
vided some one don'C shoot him.
Painted in the beautiful colors of
western idiomism clothed in the ver-
dure of wild western simplicity, the poet
at first, like rivulet rippling down the
canyon with the merry naturalization
of a bell, gradually increases until
it forms mighty cataract and rushes
like the seething, deafening Niagara to
the depths below, Ope your ears while
we sing the first verse of the "Willow
Creek Song:"
Good evening, gentle folks,
will sing you all song;
Pay close attention,
will not detain you long!
1t is all about this country
And the way will begin it
Is all about Willow creek,
And the things that are in it.
Do you think, gentle reader, that if
we possessed the heaven borh gift of
poetry to such an extent rs the above au-
thor that we would plod along waiting
for people to come in and pay us for
their paper and promise us cord wood,
which never materializes? Not much
We would gather our soulful songs to
gether and print them in book, pub
lsh an advertisement in the Police
Gazette and await developments. We
would wear our hair long, and cultivate
a far away expression, and prepare for a
life of Oriental ease. There are seven
teen verses, equal to the one we have
given; but it would i'll become us to
give them to the public while literary
magazines exist with larger subscrip'
ton list. But list to the last verse:
Yes, and there is the ladies, too,
They look 80 mighty grand,
With their little bits of feet
And nothing on their hands
With their big bussled skirts
And hats unto the sky.
Roll along ladies,
Root hog or die.

A GOOD RIFLE.

On Aug, 4th. W. B. Benham began a
series of shots to test the endurance and
shooting qualities of $40 Ballard

cleaning. Out of the 612 shots, 4lO of
them constitute Al regular 10 shot scores,

the scores are only ordinary, they show

used and some 40 rounds of factory ani-
munition, (U. NJ. c. make.) 1876 Of the

BOOtmaking Extraordinary.

The celebrated Chicago sausage ma
chine has been eclipsed. In this ma
chine the pig, it will be recollected, is
said to enter at one end, and on the
whisk of handle to emerage in sau-
sage. The Vienna papers are making
merry over bet made few days ago
by celebrated shoemaker in that city.
He undertook, from given calf, to
manufacture a pair of boots within
twenty-four hours OF the animals
death. The conditions were made,
and committee was appointed to see
that they were duly carried out.
Large stakes were put into the hands
of an impartial stakeholder. Early in
the morning of the appointed day a
calf was killed in the presence OF
numerous witnesses. The skin was at
the tannery at noon; it was properly
tanned and turned over to one of the
most skillful hands of the spirited
shoemaker that very evening, and next
morning it reappeared in the shape Of
pair of boots, which were worn by
the man who owned the calf that had
carried the skin on the day befo re-
So many orders have focked in as a
result of the wide publicity given to
this event, which veritably makes an
epoch in the boot and shoe trade, that

premises, together with small cow.

During johnson Administration Sec
retary McCulloch was presented with a
daughter, as was also Postmaster Gen.

born-one the daughter of Secretary
Belknap, the other the daughter of

which naturally suggests itself from

Reported Gold Discovery in Alaska


Late Alaska papers contain an ac-
count of rich gold discoveries on our
northwestern border. The report
states that Tom Williams, a miner on
Stewart creek, was found in a dying
condition on a trail, on his way out.
He was taken to Healy & Wilson's
store and the latter gentleman CLEANED
from his utterances that he had been
fifty days making the trip in company
with Indians. They had their dogs
and one sled. Two dogs gave out on
the lake and the men travelled on
snow-shoes to the summit of the range,
where they built a snow house, which
they occupied four days. The intense
cold of the fifth day caused them to
abandon the house and in five days
they only made twelve miles. Will
liams died 36 hours after arriving at
the store. Before dying he told Will
son that lot of gold dust had been
abandoned at the snow house, princi-
pally for a man named McQuestin.
He also stated that one hundred men
near Stewards were greatly excited
over the discovery of coarse gold on
Mill creek, and his main object was to
reach San Francisco before Mr.. Nc
Questin left. Nothing definite could
be obtained from the dying man in re-
gard to the strike, but it is thought he
was ON q secret mission and wanted
McQuestin to bring in a large supply
of goods. Parties went in search OF
the cached letters and dust, but the
severe weather forced them to come
back. 1t is thought rich strike has
been made and the steamer Yukon
has been dispatched up the river to
secure the cached mail, but had not
returned when the Idaho left.

The Knights of Labor are trying to
establish cooperative community in
Tennessee. They have secured 12O,-
600 acres of land and are going to de-
velop iron, nail, brick and other indus
tries. They expect to get 1000 fami-
lies on the ground in less than six
months, and to find work for mechan-
les and laborers of every description
The scheme is an excellent one, and
although similar enterprises have US
ually fallen very fiat, this one may
possibly prove an exception to very
unfortunate rule. Should the pro-
posed city answer expectations. the
public will not long be left in doubt as
to how employers of labor ought to
deal with such questions as strikes,
blacklisting and other difficulties. Un-
less the millennium is about commenc-
ing these are pretty certain to arise,
even when Knights are employed by
Knights.

Tammany and the President.

NEW York, Feb. 21:-The Tribune
says: Should President Cleveland
seek denomination in 1883, there
seems little doubt that he must get
along without the support of Tam
many hall. At the last State Con-
vention New York city's vote was di-
vided as follows: Tammany hall 81,
county Democracy 81, Irving hall ID.
Tammany hall and Irving hall voted
for Hill for Governor, leaving the
county Democracy in hopeless mi
nority. This will be the case in the
State Convention at which delegates
will be chosen for the next National
Democratic Convention, if an attempt
is made to commit the delegates from
this State to the support of President
Cleveland. Tammany leaders cay
Cleveland pledged them that their or
ganization should be treated exactly
as the County Democracy. Up to the
present time Tammany has not re-
ceived any recognition from the Ad-
ministration, while it's bitterest enemy,
Mayor Grace, can receive from the
President the appointment Of minis
ters and consuls.
"Tammany hall asked for nothing
from Cleveland" said one of the lead
ers on Saturday. "It supported him
loyalty after great provocation on his
part. We were assured we would re-
ceive fair recognition in the matter Of
appointments. We have received
nothing, while our rivals have been
pampered. Our organization has
prospered under the frowns Of the Ad-
ministration, and it will 60 right on
waiting for the National Administra-
ton to make the balance even."

are lumber, coal, iron, fish, town lots,
scenery and climate. Its population
is mainly located in cities, sawmill vii
lagos and logging camps. There is no
better region on earth for the estab-
lishment of factories of all kinds than
Puget Sound. A multitude of small
streams furnish water power, there are
unlimited quantities of fuel, and al
most any kind of a manufactory can
be located so close to navigable water
that its products can be loaded from
the factory door into the largest ships
that plow the seas. The man seeking
employment in numbering, in any of
its branches, in mining coal, iron and
lime, in fishing, in ship-building, or
desiring to engage in commerce and
manufacture can not do better than to
go to Puget Sound.
